HELP PLZ
Thanks For all Who Read

you need to flash the kernel and a new rom i'm going to explain why.
first of all you need to flash your device with odin, i recommend you read a lot how can you flash with odin, the kernel and rom. you have a boot loop because the rom is not compatible with your device and i think the kernel have issiues to. see the description of the rom you flash it and see others roms and kernels if you have galaxy tab i recomend you download in www.humberos.com.br and when you learn how to flash it, put in download mode and do it

Galaxy ACE - not able to wipe data/factory reset

Hi all,
I rooted my galaxy ace and everything was fine running with custom firmware.
Recently my phone started to show trouble , so i tried installing new cyanogen ROM but im not able to do so since it is stuck with data wipe screen.
Im running recovery 5.0.2.6. , In the recovery im able to format system but when i select either format data or cache , the device hangs and i have to pull out the battery to restart.
Tried all possible ways to troubleshoot this issue , i have also flashed new firmware but no luck.
Im afraid that my device might have been bricked or could have a fault in the phone memory chip.
Please help .

it probably recovery fault, because it out of date and cynaogen mod is ext formatted, while stock is usally rfs try flashing 5.0.2.7 recovery

hmmm , im not able to find recovery 5.0.2.7 , can you please send me the link

When you say " flashed new firmware" do you mean with Odin? If you haven't done that yet, you should
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium

not sure if gio and ace have the same recoverys, but look for the latest cwm

[Q] Can't mount!

Please read the whole thread!
I know there have been some posts on this already, but I feel like there isn't a solution, and I just want a straight answer as to what I need to do, because I have no idea!
Hiya guys, sorry about this but I'm seriously new to xda and flashing roms etc.
Back a while ago I decided to root using superuser, I then tried to flash a cm7, and to this day I still don't know what is compatible with what..
Unfortunately for the next few days I don't have access to a pc cable, because one never came with my S5830.
Another quick question, what other recovery mods/roms can I get to use, because I have read some posts that say there are bugs with CWM, and haven't been able to find any others (because I just don't know what to search for apart from recovery roms, and that just gives me OS roms)
I then flashed CWM6.xxxxx to my phone and it seems to be working, I have 2 or 3 SD cards, and every one of them I put in it says:
"E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/ (Can't read, goes off screen)
"E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/ (Can't read, goes off screen)
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/ (Can't read, goes off screen)
"E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/ (Can't read, goes off screen)
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/ (Can't read, goes off screen)
When I go to "mounts and storage" on CWM v6, and try to mount any of the /cache,/data,/sdcard,/system,/sd-ext, they all give me the same thing:
"Error mounting /xxxxxx!"
Do I have corrupted SD cards?
I've tried flashing CM9, and it seemed to have worked, got caught in a bootloop, which I then redownloaded and reflashed, then it booted up but:
At startup, I was told the encryption was unsuccessful, and the "Reset Phone" button to fix this, doesn't work at all.
I keep think this is a problem with my SD cards.
I've tried partitioning my SD card to fix this problem, using FAT32 and Ext2 roughly half and half. (I don't know what either of these are but I just tried it anyways)
Do I have to have a specific version of CWM and CM in order to make my Ace work again?
I will be able to get a cable in the next few days, then I will use Odin to try and fix it, but here is the important part:
I don't actually remember what specific version of gingerbread my stock rom was, because I just jumped into flashing, didn't think about anything, yes I know. Stupid move.
I've tried flashing a few different CM version, all of them I wiped data/factory reset AND wiped cache partition AND wiped dalvik.
By the way, when I wipe the dalvik it literally just blips and does nothing, don't know whether that means something?
I have a 4GB SD card and a 2GB sd card, my 4GB is partitioned 3:1. They are both a standard version, I've looked around and have been told to get a "version 6" SD card. No idea why, probably something to do with transfer rate?
I have literally spent about 12 hours searching and flashing/reflashing/wiping, not finding anything really useful as to why this is happening..
I was thinking I need to flash to stock (whichever stock it is!!!:'(, and then start from square one). Another question is, does it matter which version of gingerbread I flash stock to? That's if it decides to actually work.
I really need help guys, could someone please tell me which version of CWM and CM to use, and how to flash through SD card for the moment, as I haven't got a cable yet.
I have looked at threads telling me I should wipe everything FIRST, and I have also seen ones that tell me to wipe AFTER I've installed the ROM. What's the difference?:/
All in all, I'm not very clued up when it comes to this, and I don't know whether this is soft bricked or hard bricked, but I can still access the recovery mode, ramdump mode (whatever that is) and download mode.
If anyone could help me it'd be a godsend.

DON'T USE CWM 6.xxx (it's NOT porn, joke )

Correct steps:
1. Flash a fresh stock using Odin (AFTER ISNTALL YOU WILL GET BOOTLOOP >>>BOOT INTO STOCK RECOVERY AND DO DATA/FACTORY RESET AND WIPE CACHE PARTITION THEN REBOOT)
2. Root
3. INSTALL CWM 5.0.2.6. FIXED (then boot into recovery and do a backup, it's recommended )
4. Install a custom rom>>> FOLLOW DEV'S INSTRUCTIONS!!
5. Increasing internal memory>>>Use a custom rom/kernel with init.d support and follow the steps I posted here>>>INT2EXT SCRIPT

USE THIS CWM!!!... if you want to avoid troubles. I know it's quite old but it's fully stable for our device and it's the best!

A great slogan could be: Easy, Stable and Safe!, especially for noob members
When he'll learn something more from Galaxy Ace and the Android world then he could do what he want, but for the novice is better to give clear and useful instructions, so I always provide the easiest way

Thanks for getting back to me!
Thank you so much! I'll give everything you said a try. It's actually quite sad how the Galaxy Ace has such pathetic RAM.

i9305 Bootloop & Strange Issue - Help Required

Edit: My problem has been solved, I tried to flash recovery again through odin but still issue was there.. then I download stock firmware from sammobile and then flashed the same through odin... and wolaaa... phone rebooted and issue is fixed now.. thanks @Pheoxy for your guidence...
Hi All,
I am having serious problem with my S3 i9305. I was using Amcha ROM version 2.20 yesterday my battery was dead and phone went powered off while I was sleeping, when I woke up I tried charging it but it turns on and stucked on bool logo I accessed recovery mode and tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache, but the issue is when I select wipe dalvik cache and then phone restarted it self and than stuck again on bootloop.. further when I tried to do factory reset through recovery than phone again restarted and then stuck again on boot logo..
I also tried flashing Amcha 3.0 version by putting it on external SD card and through recovery when I selected flash zip than AROMA started and then suddenly while installing ROM phone again restarted and then as usual stucked on bootloop.
please suggest me the way forward, phone is just working fine.. and then......this issue.. Please help as I am in serious issue...

Partitions might be buggered some how. Use Odin to flash recovery again to make sure and then flash stock ROM before android 4.3.
Do a wipe like you would switching Roms and restore backup if you can or flash whatever.
